Music

The beat is contagious, and the message is love, affection and acceptance.

With an easy quarter note pulse underneath the slightest shuffle, it’s all nuance and hints of syncopation.

The voice and temperament of a proud individualist, with an omniscient eye and the heart of a poet.

The fare here is perfectly attenuated to fit the exact same jam as MSMW: a modern and punchy instrumental Memphis soul.

With an understated sense of authority, Annie DiRusso puts the painful memory of a doomed love to its final resting place.

A captured moment in time, equal parts horror and fascination.

Face the World is a beautifully rendered and wistful sketch of the push-pull dynamics between erstwhile lovers, and of the longing to be understood.

Emma Charles gives us a personal resolution that is both brooding and beautiful. --- photo credit: Holy Smoke
